    The crank will not fit. Totally differnt engine blocks I believe.
    A Ranchero is NOT an El Camino

    I was thinking the same thing. As they say, anything can be made to fit anything else, but I think the cost to modify one to work would far exceed the cost of a good stroker setup..........IF you could find someone to do the work.

    I weighed the options and decided on a 331 stoker kit for my 27 vs a 347. From what I was able to read on various forums the 331 presents less long term wear issues, and less initial clearance issues. I bought a Scat kit and it went in just like it should, although on initial fireup it is a little noisy. Once it warms up it gets quiet. According to conversations I have had with Scat and Keith Black Pistons, some strokers are noisy, some are not.
